It’s easy to venture into Cydia and download your favorite apps and tweaks, but what if you want to save the files that you download for backup or later use?

There are tools like PKGBackup that save the links to the apps and tweaks that you have on your device, but it’s not as straightforward to backup and save the actual .deb files responsible for installing the packages that we use.

What to do? In the following video tutorial, I’ll show you how to easily download deb files using OpenSSH and a handy FTP client…

Wait a second that is a retarded way to do it, because cydia automatically will install the deb.
The way to download a deb from cydia WITHOUT installing it on your device is by using this command

apt-get -d install com.packagename.packagename

and THEN go to /private/var/cache/apt/archives and it will be there

Thank you so much for posting this. It has really helped me.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to install toggles without needing sbsettings, because activator and intelliscreen x are also capable of handling them. Because I need the deb to remove the dependancy this was a great way to get it without installing anything, thanks!

IFunbox works better,btw can anyone tell me how to import Cydia tweaks,apps.etc to desktop? Not to download from the internet..

Is there a way to email myself the .deb file using iFile directly on the iPhone after installing a package in Cydia? i’m on my iPhone 5S iOS 7.0.4, I’m installed a package from Cydia, I get the “Restart Springboard” button but I don’t press it, I multitask to iFile but there is no .deb file in /private/var/cache/apt/archives 🙁 Is it only possible to do this using a computer? :-/
I download a lot of stuff while at work(no iFunbox access) and would like to email myself .deb files.
Please advise, thanks!
